Demotes Embattled Andrew McCabe; Internal Investigation Dubbed “Train Wreck”
TruPundit ^

Posted on 12/26/2017 9:35:10 AM PST by MNDude

FBI Director Christopher Wray has defrocked and demoted embattled deputy director Andrew McCabe, according to FBI sources.

McCabe, who has been a lightning rod of controversy in the last two years, is no longer running the show at the FBI as far as manning his previous sweeping daily responsibilities.

Under ex-FBI director James Comey, McCabe had unilateral control of the FBI, including counter terrorism. According to sources, that is no longer the case.

McCabe’s workload has been transferred among other Bureau hierarchy, according to FBI sources.

This internal demotion likely sets the stage for McCabe’s departure from the FBI, according to sources who say that an investigation by the United States Office of the Inspector General into McCabe’s dealings with Hillary Clinton’s campaign have yielded troubling revelations.

“McCabe ran the Las Vegas mass shooting investigation. That needs a hard second look by someone else that’s for sure.”

I don’t think this handjob could run a Lionel train.

Cutting back on McCabe’s duties is pretty normal for someone retiring in a few months and for whom there is no obvious successor. As long as McCabe is still Deputy Director, there is no demotion and he has the responsibilities listed for the Deputy.

...according to FBI sources.

Unnamed "FBI sources"?

Chris Wray should make an official announcement or else it didn't happen.

The entire upper management at the doj has spent years engaging in political trickery servicing the body politic...

FBI's upper management has been servicing liberal elites like the corrupt Clintons for decades... Sweep out the corrupt losers and replace them with something mildly akin to law enforcement people.

We need somebody who will prosecute. Rosenstein needs to be replaced.

Unfortunately McCabe will be allowed to slither into retirement without a scratch

Want to bet it was Hillary that recommended Comey to Obama to be FBI Director???

She probably told Obama, don't worry that he's a Republican, we have Comey under control


James Comey is a corrupt FIXER for Hillary!

I read that McCabe was in charge of the Vegas shooting from the beginning, no reasonable analysis was received.

The guy was as useless as teats on a bore hog.

Terrorism, domestic violence thru N.G.O.’s funded by taxpayers, and uncontrolled jihad violence, is a budget builder for the DOJ. They have a disincentive to crush it, prosecute it, prevent it, or do anything but grow it with controls to use it as a weapon. tra

Based on how the Tsarnaev brothers were handled, we can probably assume his "counter terrorism" efforts were mostly spying on Tea Party people.

He trapped some semi-retarded types into being "terrorists".

The information in this story is actually old.

Also When Comey was fired McCabe actually had Comey’s job until Wray came along. What is one to think he did with that time?

McCabe is ready to enjoy that generous retirement on the taxpayer’s dime, that he does not deserve.

What good is it to drain the alligators from the swamp when none of them are held accountable for their misdeeds? More reason for others to take their places and start the game all over again.
